Sweetums: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Sweetums

Sweetums is a group that works the edges of jazz with a glam-rock tint, a combination reflected in their streaming footprint and broad listenership. In New York City, they’ve appeared at Arlene’s Grocery, sharing bills with downtown acts including Flag Day, Jules, and Peter Glynn’s Radical Jazz, as well as Peter Glynn. Their sets favor tight ensemble interplay and a clear rhythmic center over extended display. The band’s profile suggests a project shaped as much by the club circuit as by genre boundaries.
